zkMe is the web3 zero-knowledge (ZK) identity layer. zkMe builds Identity Oracles that leverage the power of zero-knowledge-proofs to enable secure, self-sovereign and private credential verifications. In this Customer Case Study series, we’ll explore how leading web3 teams use zkMe to elevate their security and regulatory compliance while simultaneously protecting their users identity.

INTRODUCTION

Tenzro is a platform that helps developers build smart and secure decentralized applications (dApps) on various blockchain networks, integrating artificial intelligence (AI) capabilities seamlessly.

As the blockchain industry changes quickly and security threats become more complex, Tenzro sees the need for better ways to verify identities and improve security. They are looking for solutions that can handle these challenges while still protecting user privacy.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

zkMe helps Tenzro by providing its zkKYC solution, which is integrated into Tenzro’s blockchain system. This includes features like Proof of Personalhood, Zero-Knowledge Proof of Citizenship, and AML Screening. These tools enable strong authentication while keeping user information private.

HOW TENZRO USES ZKME

Tenzro enables developers to build intelligent and secure decentralized applications (dApps) across various ecosystems while tackling scalability challenges and technical complexities. To avoid allocating resources to an in-house KYC tool, Tenzro needs a secure verification solution of NFT ownership within its Claimable NFT system, ensuring that the minter is the rightful owner. By utilizing zkMe’s advanced zero-knowledge proof technology for efficient user identity verification and enhanced data protection, Tenzro maintains platform integrity while prioritizing security and compliance.

Mud, Core Contributor at Tenzro emphasizes, “We’ve achieved a significant breakthrough in blockchain security. Our integration of zkMe’s zkKYC solution is truly revolutionary. It goes beyond just enhancing security; we’re establishing a new benchmark for trust and authenticity in blockchain ecosystems while rigorously safeguarding user privacy. This aligns perfectly with our core belief in offering robust privacy-preserving techniques in all our products.”

PROBLEMS TENZRO FACED BEFORE USING ZKME

Tenzro, in its bold quest to revolutionize blockchain through AI integration, encountered a significant hurdle: ensuring unparalleled security and privacy. As their innovative platform gained momentum in the rapidly evolving blockchain landscape, they quickly realized the critical importance of robust data protection. The challenge was to balance cutting-edge security measures with the absolute necessity of safeguarding user privacy, all while adhering to ever-changing data protection regulations.

Mud, a Core Contributor at Tenzro, explained: “As our platform grew rapidly, we faced a challenge in developing our own privacy-preserving KYC technology while needing a scalable solution to match our rapid development. After researching various providers, we found zkMe’s solution to be ideal. Their zero-knowledge proof technology ensures user data confidentiality while meeting our high security standards. The seamless integration of zkMe’s system immediately addressed our concerns, providing us with an efficient, privacy-focused KYC solution that perfectly aligns with our needs.”

HOW ZKME HELPED TENZRO

By integrating zkMe’s cutting-edge zero-knowledge proof technology, Tenzro dramatically enhanced its security framework, unlocking a host of benefits for both the platform and its users. The implementation of zkMe’s solution enabled Tenzro to introduce Proof of Personalhood, ensuring each user account represented a unique individual, and Zero-Knowledge Proof of Citizenship, allowing users to verify their status without exposing personal data. These features, combined with advanced AML Screening, transformed Tenzro’s platform into a secure and compliant environment that maintained the highest standards of user privacy.

Mud, a Core Contributor at Tenzro, commented on the improved user experience: “zkMe’s zkKYC solution made our onboarding process incredibly user-friendly. Users could easily register on our platform and create a unique digital identity with minimal friction. This significantly reduced user anxiety about fairness in our services, as everyone knew they were interacting with real, verified individuals. The seamless KYC process and effortless integration allowed us to focus on developing other core features, accelerating our overall platform development.”

The benefits extended beyond security and user experience. As the next step, with zkMe’s solution, Tenzro could support multiple authentication modes and non-compliance credentials, creating a more versatile and inclusive platform in the next phase of collaboration with zkMe. Tenzro users enjoyed a richer, more diverse experience with the flexibility to interact through various credential types. Importantly, these advancements didn’t come at the cost of data insights. Thanks to zkMe’s zero-knowledge proofs, Tenzro gained valuable user insights without compromising individual privacy, opening up new possibilities for platform optimization while maintaining the highest standards of data protection.
